What's the best tip you have for an advanced user?

Jeff Colen (President, A Sharper Home, Inc.) gives expert video advice on: What one component should I not skimp on and why?; How are people using media in their homes?; What types of control systems are becoming popular? and more...

For the advanced users out there, I highly recommend that you route all of your audio and your video through your AV receiver. When you're purchasing an AV receiver, make sure you're getting one that's going to allow you to do things like incorporate digital video in there, that has the HDMI connections in the back. By routing everything through your AV receiver and using that as an AV switch, you minimize the number of components that have to turn and switch inputs and outputs all at the same time. The result of that means that it will consistently provide the right audio and video at the same time.
